On January 16, China and Canada announced a Preliminary Joint Arrangement on Addressing Bilateral Economic and Trade Issues following Prime Minister Mark Carney’s visit to China. The agreement aims to “settle long-standing trade issues” and “establish a track for major new investments benefitting Canadian workers and businesses.” To date, both sides have made substantial progress on implementing the deal and there have been notable improvements in China-Canada trade relations. However, these developments have received relatively little media attention.
